The point which keeps going over your head is that GA approaches a exhaustive search in which you randomly select cases to test until you've either tried them all (and wasted many cpu cycles along the way with repeated mutations) or luckily stumbled across the global maximum early (in which case you would never know if it was global).
The reason why people use it instead of exhaustive searches is because they don't care about a global maximum, or in this case "obviousness". But to say that non-obvious solutions are a strong suit of GA is wrong, and that is what I had an issue with. If you knew the solution was non-obvious, you'd have better luck randomly testing solutions without the overhead of cross-over and mutations.
I also doubt that an exhaustive search to find this 7 roach build is infeasible when today's chess engines are able to brute-force 10 steps in a matter of minutes on standard hardware. I also never "whine"d about how GA didn't work for me, so I don't know what to say about that except that it is now obvious you are trolling.
